Special Projects
West Branch's innovation division — where construction meets new ideas. Technology, services, and builds that push the industry forward.
Not everything we do fits neatly into “general contracting.” Special Projects is where we explore new ideas, build proprietary tools, and take on work that excites us — from AI-powered construction software to custom sauna builds. These are the projects that keep us sharp and push the industry forward.
